Raspberry Smoothie

Makes | 32 ounces, or two 16-ounce servings

Ingredients

• 6 oz. raspberries
• 1 cup fresh orange juice
• 1 cup coconut milk (or milk or other milk alternative)
• 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
• 1 tbs. tahini

Directions

1. Blend all ingredients together in a blender until smooth. Serve immediately.
2. Try variations by using different juices or other liquids, such as coconut water or kefir. A banana can be added for a thicker smoothie. The tahini is added to keep the smoothie from separating while you drink it, but if you have a nut allergy, it can be made without it. Frozen fruits will make a thicker smoothie, so if you have trouble blending because of the thickness, add a bit more juice.
